title: [Campylobacter fetus bacteremia complicating a dysenteric syndrome in a young epileptic].
abstract: Campylobacter fetus bacteremia is rare and occurs mainly in elderly and immunosuppressed patients. We report an original observation of C. fetus bacteremia complicating acute mucoid diarrhea in a young epileptic with no known risk factors. Our observation suggests that antiepileptic treatment could increase the risk of blood-borne of C. fetus infection.
